KANSAS CITY, MO (KTVI)-In Kansas City this week, an angry mother attacked her son's teacher. According to a police report, the woman hit the teacher in the face five to ten times and then hit her head against a file cabinet twice before fleeing the school.

According to a school spokeswoman, the woman's six-year-old son had told her the teacher was responsible for a scratch on his neck.

District officials say the woman's son later admitted his teacher had not hurt or scratched him. The school district says it's looking to press charges against the parent.
